(considering most of their targets come behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more impressive than it appears since most RBs average negative air yards).The Cincinnati Bengals pass defense has been gouged for the 5th-highest Adjusted Completion% in the NFL (87%) versus running backs this year (87.0%).This year, the shaky Cincinnati Bengals defense has surrendered a monstrous 0.55 TDs through the air per game to opposing running backs: the highest rate in football.When it comes to linebackers in covering pass-catchers, Cincinnati's group of LBs has been easily exploitable this year, grading out as the 2nd-worst in the NFL.
